◎The final showdown, tearing off the name tag◎
"Haha." Lu Ge and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard Li Yifan's heart-wrenching voice. Lu Ge was the one who laughed the most. He looked at Li Yifan and said in a sly tone, "It's okay, Brother Yifan. The crystal shoes are so beautiful. They suit you so well."
"Lu Ge." Li Yifan couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard his gloating words, staring at him with eyes burning with anger. He was so angry that Li Yifan couldn't help but pounce on him and let him feel the charm of the iron fist.
However, Lu Ge noticed his movements and reacted very quickly. He slid behind the group and turned back provocatively to Li Yifan, saying, "Brother Yifan, don't be angry. If you get angry, you'll get sick and no one will take your place."
"Ah, I'm going to kill you." Li Yifan was so amused by him that he couldn't even maintain his usual image. The two of them started chasing each other on the spot.
Lin Chaojin and the others watched speechlessly as the two tall guys started fighting like two three-year-old children. They suddenly felt embarrassed. They didn't feel embarrassed in front of the national audience. As expected, the ones who felt embarrassed were those with thin skin like them.
In the end, it was only when the big brother in black announced the final round of "opening dance competition" that they decided.
"As for the competition for the opening dance, can't we just give up on it?" Lu Ge and the others exchanged glances. Whether or not to perform the opening dance didn't really matter to them.
"No," the black-clad brother ruthlessly rejected their request. "Everyone must participate. If you choose to abstain, your entire funding for the next round will be cut in half. This is what Director Zhang said."
Lu Ge and the others were about to bargain with him, but after hearing the last part, their faces twitched. They turned to the camera and made an international gesture to Director Zhang sitting behind the monitor. "Okay, Director Zhang, the one who gets paid is the boss."
"Ahem." Director Zhang, who was being accused, took a big sip of tea to calm down and said to Assistant Li beside him, "Not bad, then I'm the boss. This feels pretty good."
Assistant Li saw Director Zhang's smug expression, pushed up the legs of his glasses, and wondered how long it would take for him to be beaten with a sack.
Seeing they were quiet, the black-clad host continued, "The final round will be simple. You'll form groups of two and compete to tear off name tags. Whichever group manages to protect the name tag in the end wins."
"Tsk, isn't this just a battle of physical strength?" Lu Ge said unhappily, stroking his chin. "What does this have to do with the dance?"
The big brother in black glanced at him without saying anything, but the others inexplicably felt a hint of disgust in the big brother's eyes.
[Big Brother in Black: You're the only one who can talk, right? You're always the one who stirs up trouble.]
[Haha, it feels like the black-clad guy is about to lose his professionalism. I want to give Ge Songsong a pot lid, dog head.]
Then a staff member handed them a name tag with black letters on a white background. The name tag was not big, about the size of an adult male's palm.
Chi Huai took the name tag with "Lin Chaojin" on it first, raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "I'll put it on for you."
"Yeah." Lin Chaojin glanced at him, turned her back to him, and lifted her ponytail to one side.
Chi Huai tore off the double-sided sticker of the name tag, lowered his head, and stuck the name tag on the back of her sportswear.
After he finished putting the name tag on, Lin Chaojin took another name tag with his name on it and put it behind him.
After everyone had finished posting their stickers, they were divided into four groups and taken to four locations by staff. The cruise ship was very large, and except for the dance venue on the third floor which had not been announced yet, the first and second floors were their hiding places and fighting places.
Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai were blindfolded and taken to a small room where they could sense each other's breathing.
Lin Chaojin, who was standing against the wall, was silently waiting for the countdown to be broadcast, when she suddenly felt that her right little finger, which was hanging naturally, was hooked by that person's little finger.
Just a gentle hook, Lin Chaojin felt that the "thump thump" of her heartbeat was so loud that others could hear it. Because she was wearing a blindfold, the subtle touch was even stronger.
I also don’t know if there is a camera installed in this room, and whether the camera can capture this corner.
That secret interaction, known only to the two of them, made Lin Chaojin tremble, and his little finger moved involuntarily. The man thought he was trying to break free, so he hooked his little finger even tighter.
"Three, two, one, the brand name battle begins now." As the loud radio countdown sounded, the two people gently clasped their little fingers together, and only let go after the last word fell.
Lin Chaojin was just about to reach out to take off the blindfold when her hands on her eyes were covered by another pair of hands. She heard the man's voice in her ears, "I'll do it," which made her eardrums vibrate.
Chi Huai lowered her head and looked at the person in front of her. The black eye mask almost covered the upper half of her face, leaving only her lips, which were as red as April roses, completely exposed.
Chi Huai paused in removing the blindfold, his Adam's apple sliding up and down, his two hands covering both sides of her cheeks, making Lin Chaojin's face look smaller, and Chi Huai's gentle movements seemed as if he was removing the red veil of a bride.
Lin Chaojin, who was blindfolded, could not see, but her senses and hearing were clearer. The man was very close to her, and she seemed to smell the clear breath of ice from him, and she could hear the sound of his Adam's apple swallowing in her ears.
Suddenly, Lin Chaojin felt a thumb touching and gently stroking the corner of her lips.
Lin Chaojin's eyebrows moved under the blindfold, and he raised his eyebrows. He couldn't help but open his lips slightly and touched it lightly with the tip of his tongue. After a moment, the man suddenly withdrew his fingers.
Chi Huai's thumb felt something soft and he retracted it as if he had been electrocuted. The movement of removing the blindfold was a little shaky. Fortunately, the blindfold fell off Lin Chaojin's face in a short while, revealing her peach blossom eyes that seemed to have been covered for a long time and were watery.
Their eyes met in this corner, and they stared at each other silently for a few seconds. Chi Huai was the first to look away, put the two eye masks aside, and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
What they didn't know was that a camera not far from the room was pointing at them, and although it didn't capture the moment of them hooking their fingers, it did capture the moment of the two of them taking off their blindfolds.
[Ahh, what's going on? These two just took off their eye masks, but why is the atmosphere so ambiguous?!]
[Really, I doubt these two would have started doing that at any moment if they hadn't remembered to record it.]
[Groundhog screams, Mom, the couple I'm supporting is truly the bravest and sweetest!]
The two walked out of the cabin. Lin Chaojin walked half a step in front of Chi Huai, while Chi Huai lagged behind her and stood behind her half a step, showing a posture of protecting her back. The two were less than half a fist away from each other, almost touching each other. Netizens in front of the camera were no longer surprised by this.
Lin Chaojin glanced out the window beside her and could see the first-floor deck. She said to Chi Huai, "We should be on the second floor now."
"Yeah." Chi Huai nodded, looked at her and said, "Should we take the initiative?" Although it was a question, it contained a hint of tacit affirmation.
As expected, according to Lin Chaojin's personality, she nodded and said, "It's no use hiding forever. We'll meet him eventually. We might as well take the initiative."
"Okay." The two agreed without any disagreement.
After walking a few steps, they found a map of the cruise ship's location next to the window. Chi Huai opened it, and Lin Chaojin came over. The two of them studied it for a while, almost head to head. Lin Chaojin pointed to the area marked "Lounge" and said, "This place is spacious. We can try to ambush here."
"Okay, sure." Chi Huai compared it with other places and found that this place was most suitable for displaying his skills.
After choosing a location, the two put away the map and walked towards their destination.
After walking along a long corridor and turning a corner, we were caught off guard by another group of people.
Lu Ge and Xiao Chuchu were looking around and walking suspiciously. When they looked up, they saw Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai only three or four meters away from them.
Seeing the two of them, Lu Ge and Xiao Chuchu were both shocked and their pupils widened instantly. Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai had not yet made any move, but when they saw them, they turned around and ran away in tacit understanding.
Xiao Chuchu ran for a short distance and thought of something and yelled to Lu Ge: "Don't run anymore, we can form an alliance with them first."
Lu Ge stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Chuchu as she pondered her words. He glanced at Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai, especially the shameless Chi Huai who was almost clinging to his sister. He gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay."
The two exchanged glances, then turned and shouted to Lin Chaojin and the others from a distance of more than ten meters: "The game has just begun. Our two groups can form an alliance and eliminate the other two groups first. What do you think?"
Lin Chaojin and Chi Huai had originally watched them turn and quickly flee without even thinking of chasing after them, but now, upon hearing their words, they looked at each other and nodded in agreement, "Alright, alliance."
"Yes, that's great." Xiao Chuchu was the first to be happy. She abandoned Lu Ge and ran to Lin Chaojin, hugging her hands. "Sister Jinjin, please hold my thigh."
Lin Chaojin didn't avoid her either. She held one of his hands and raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have a dance partner? His thighs are not easy to hug?"
"Forget it. My fighting power may be higher than his. I should let him rely on me." Xiao Chuchu waved her hands after hearing this, as if she felt that she was more powerful.
Seeing his companion turn around and abandon him to lean towards his sister, and even "slander" him, Lu Ge said, "Oh, thank you very much." But his voice seemed to have a sour tone, and he didn't know whether it was directed at his sister or Xiao Chuchu.
Seeing Xiao Chuchu holding Lin Chaojin, Lu Ge walked over and used force to separate Chi Huai. He smiled shamelessly and said, "Brother, Huai, how about I hug your thigh too?"
After hearing this, Chi Huai raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.
So Xiao Chuchu walked in front holding one of Lin Chaojin's hands, and Lu Ge shamelessly dragged Chi Huai behind him.
[Haha, Master Ge, you still want to cling to the Huai God, but don’t you see the look in his eyes that wants to push you out to the sword, you dog head.]
[Haha, Ge and Suang Suang, these two big lights, just showed up and broke up my relationship. I'm so angry, but these two couples are each other's lights, right? Light a cigarette.]
[No, am I the only one who notices that Ge Songsong is now surrounded by the three musketeers who once "betrayed" him?! Ge Songsong, wake up, be smart, and don't let the past be a burden to you.]
[Haha, what the sister said earlier is true, it’s really interesting.]
After Lin Chaojin and his three companions walked for a while and were about to reach the lounge, they came face to face with Chi Ling, Li Zhiyuan, Li Yifan, and Xiao Long. Seeing the four of them walking together, it was obvious that they had formed an alliance.
The eight of them exchanged glances at each other at the door, and Lu Ge spoke first: "Hey, Li Yifan, why are you guys forming an alliance too?"
"Why, you are allowed to form an alliance, but we are not?" Li Yifan was upset when he saw Lu Ge, and he couldn't help but retort immediately.
"Ok, I didn't say no." Lu Ge spread his hands innocently.
Watching the two of them bickering, you could tell they were forming an alliance without anyone else saying anything.
"Let's go inside and see if there's more space."
"Okay, sure."
The eight people tacitly agreed not to take action right away, but walked into the lounge together through the main door.
The lounge is the size of a football field, with several rows of sofas on both sides and a round table with a raised step in front. The other tables and other things have obviously been moved away by the staff, so the venue appears to be spacious enough.
The eight people were divided into two groups and confronted each other at a distance of more than one meter.
"Should we just have a melee or 1v1, or 2v2?" Xiao Chuchu asked.
In terms of numbers, both groups had four members, but Lin Chaojin's group had two girls, while the other group had three boys and one girl. Their physical strength was significantly different, but considering Lin Chaojin's ninth-degree judo, it wouldn't be a problem for her to defeat someone like Li Yifan. It wasn't clear who was better for the time being.
"How about my sister and Xiao Chuchu confront your Chi Ling and Li Yifan first." Lu Ge suggested with a roll of his eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a rude look from Li Yifan, "Why did you send me to go first?" After all, he was still a boy, how could he have the nerve to fight with two girls.
Lu Ge spread his hands and objectively analyzed: "No, look at Brother Xiao and Emperor Li. Which one is stronger than you in terms of physique? And my sister is a ninth-degree judo master. Who knows who will suffer the loss?"
"You." Li Yifan was choked by him. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that what he said made sense, but wouldn't that make him look weak? So he rarely refuted: "No, I don't agree with this."
"Hey, what's wrong with you, kid?" Lu Ge looked at him as if he was watching a naughty kid making trouble.
"You are the child, your whole family are children." Li Yifan replied angrily.
"Sister, look, he said that our whole family is made up of children." Lu Ge turned around and said to Lin Chaojin aggrievedly.
"You, that's not what I meant." Li Yifan blushed and became even more talkative when he heard his words.
Lin Chaojin glanced at Lu Ge calmly, and said with a smile, "Isn't he childish?"
[Haha, the eldest lady is feeling disgusted and doesn't really want to care about these two younger brothers.]
